Lost in linguistics. A guide to the current landscape of linguistic theory.
Oslo, 10-14 October 2011
 
During the 20th century and up to now, the field of linguistics has
developed into many different directions and into various theories and
subtheories (and sub-subtheories!). The result is a quite intricate
scientific landscape where it can be difficult to orient oneself. Theories
can be difficult to compare, not only because they build on different
premises, but also because their terminology is often internal: the same
term can have quite divergent meanings in different frameworks and very
similar concepts can be referred to by completely different terms.
Moreover, differences and boarders between theories are not always clearly
traced or stated, and theoretical assumptions - not always easily
identifiable - are often left implicit in scientific contributions.
Therefore, it can be challenging for young researchers both to situate
their own research in a larger context and to use and possibly combine
differently oriented literature.

The aim of the course is to provide a systematic comparison of theories and
an explicit overview of their implications in the different domains that
would help to create a comprehensive picture of the theoretical bases of
the field. To provide tools to understand literature and own research in a
larger context, the course will:
- trace the main lines of recent theoretical development within linguistics
- compare and contrast the most influential theories with emphasis on their
application on different subdisciplines and their implications for
different attitudes towards data.

No tuition fee. Travel and accommodation at own expenses.

NB! Regarding the accommodation, though, we are also trying to establish 
a (free) "hospitality network": we still don`t know how many places 
we will be able to offer, but it is important to let us know 
as soon as possible if such a solution is desired, 
in order for us to be able to get an idea of the demand 
and the number of places needed.

to be organized on September 20th- 23rd 2011 in Bucharest, Romania.


Suggested topics include:

-      The formation of the Vedic canon: from family books to Vedic shâkhâs, 
from Traividya to Caturveda;

-      The relation between shâkhâs and caranas of the same or  
different Vedas (Rg, Sâma, Yajur, Atharva): borrowing, citation,  
supplementation, usurpation (YV hautra);
-      Vedic shâkhâs and caranas  in the performance of Vedic ritual: 
compatibility, incompatibility, competition and cooperation;
-      Sources for the localization and history of the shâkhâs and 
their promoters (inscriptions, manuscript colophons, literary sources, etc.);
-      Self-reflexivity of the Vedic tradition and its shâkhâs:
anukramanîs, the (Yajur) vedavrksha;
-      A recourse to svashâkhâ: the medieval and modern prayogas  
and paddhatis.

PREMIÈRE CIRCULAIRE

Chers Collègues et Amis,

Philippe Swennen, Xavier Tremblay et moi-mˆme avions songé à ne pas laisser sans suite notre premier congrès avestique, dédié aux démons iraniens, et à en conserver les principes directeurs: une question la plus précise possible et encore débattue, pour laquelle des études philologiques techniques puissent apporter une solution positive; un nombre restreint de participants choisis sur la seule base de leurs apports récents sur le sujet; l'égalité de tous les participants, l'honnˆteté - non dépourvue de courtoisie et si possible de bonne humeur - dans l'établissement et dans l'interprétation des faits.

Nous avions décidé que le thème du congrès suivant serait la réutilisation et le r“le des passages vieil-avestiques dans la littérature mazdéenne ultérieure, avestique moyenne (pour ceux qui y croient), avestique récente, mais aussi pehlevie et pazende.
Une circonstance particulière nous a fait choisir la date des 22 et 23 avril 2010: Jacques Duchesne-Guillemin fˆtera en effet ce mois son 100e anniversaire, et il a souhaité s'associer à nous pour cette conférence. Nous ne pouvions passer sans honorer la haute figure qui a pendant un demi-siècle patronné nos études à Liège, assurant la pérennité de la seule chaire d'indo-européen et d'indo-iranien en Belgique.

Nous vous serions donc très obligé si vous pouviez venir à Liège les 22 et 23 avril 2010 pour participer à la conférence, à laquelle ont déjà acquiescé de venir, outre Jacques Duchesne-Guillemin et les organisateurs, Alberto Cantera, Frantz Grenet, Jean Kellens et Antonio Panaino.
Malheureusement, nous ne pourrons cette fois participer aux frais de transport et de séjour, et nous vous engageons à demander auprès de votre université une bourse de mission. Pour tous renseignements sur les possibilités de se loger à Liège, vous trouverez amples informations auprès de l'office du tourisme de Liège. La page internet pour la recherche des hôtels est: http://www.opt.be/contenus/hotels/fr/702.html

Le temps de parole sera de trente minutes, suivi de dix minutes de discussion.

La seconde circulaire précisera le lieu exact de la conférence dans l'Université.

Pour toutes informations, s'adresser à: Éric Pirart.

The diachronic relationship between the Baltic and the Slavic languages is one of the most intriguing puzzles of Indo-European linguistics. Although these groups of languages constitute two separate branches of Indo-European, they share an unusually high number of common innovations concerning the inflectional, derivational and accentual system. Despite many years of research, the reason for the striking similarity remains unclear. There are two competing, although not mutually exclusive hypotheses. One assumes an intermediate Balto-Slavic stage after the break up of Proto-Indo-European. The other hypothesis seeks to explain the similarities within the framework of language contact, i.e as a result of their longstanding geographic relationship. Both positions have been argued, but neither has been generally accepted. During the last few decades, international research has concentrated on particular grammatical features of Baltic and Slavic. Most of these studies while useful, however, focused on either Baltic or Slavic without taking into account the other language group. The goal of the workshop therefore is to bring together scholars with expertise in Baltic and in Slavic and to find some new answers to the old question about the existence of a Balto-Slavic unity.

Lecturer: Dr. Jenny Helena Larsson
Location: Centre of Excellence: Roots of Europe - Language, Culture, and Migrations, project room 22.5.26, University of Copenhagen, Njalsgade 120, 2300 Copenhagen S.

Ce congrès aborde de front le rôle des démons dans le système religieux, idéologique et politique du mazdéisme avestique, en particulier la question, centrale dans l'historiographie du mazdéisme, de l'évolution de ce rôle dans le temps, entre l'époque indo-iranienne et les livres pehlevis.
Des contributions sur les différents aspects sont prévues: personnalités démoniques particulières, identité réelle ou mythique des adorateurs des démons et du "daevisme", mythes qui mettent en scène les forces du mal, étymologie des noms des démons, vocabulaire et grammaire daevique.

Les actes seront publiés, vraisemblablement dans les collections de la Faculté de Philosophie et lettres de l'Université de Liège.

Conference schedule: http://german.berkeley.edu/germanconf/2007/poster.pdf

Conference Synopsis:
German is commonly thought of as one language, yet it occurs in many permutations-all creating ever-unique texts. Whether chatting over a beer in Cologne, reading the FAZ in Dresden, gossiping with Oma in Bayern, or teaching Deutsch als Fremdsprache, the reality of German is a mixture of geography, history, individual, and medium. These variables in combination form dialects-the foundation of the German language.
Unifying the vast realm of German Studies-be it Heidegger, Berlin Alexanderplatz, Second Language Acquisition, current music trends, die Wende, Viennese Volkskomödie, or Gothic-is the German language. It differs significantly from the sterilized language of textbooks and conforms to the genre that is using it. To the foreign language student, the dichotomy between the language of the classroom and the real language of real people is puzzling. To the speaker of dialect, this difference is the basis of identity, community, and pride. To the author, it is a vehicle of expression, of action, of power. Although it is experienced and applied in different ways, the German language is a common ground.
While it is natural-and perhaps advantageous-to recognize one "German", this same act neglects the genius of its individual dialects. By examining its many different components, we can discover and understand the reality of the language. This conference seeks to uncover the ideal and uniform notion of "German" and reveal the utility of its authentic and dynamic dialects.

Conference panels have been assembled to address questions concerning the following realms:
Dialect in Art
Dialect in the Classroom
Dialect Abroad
Dialect versus Standard
Dialect and Identity

Keynote speaker, Ulrich Ammon, is a professor of German Linguistics at the University of Duisburg. Proferssor Ammon has written extensively on the role of German and English in the European Union. He regularly publishes monographs and papers on the subject of standard language and dialect within the social and political spheres. His work has also been featured in the German national newspaper Die Zeit.
Presentations will be given by 17 national and international scholars representing universities in Europe, the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Australia.
We welcome scholars from all related fields and those interested in the role and recognition of dialect to attend the Conference.
Attendance is free of charge, thanks to the generous sponsorship of the Goethe Institut, DAAD, the Townsend Center, the Graduate Assembly at the University of California Berkeley, and the University of California Department of German.

Der Studiengang Linguistik der Universität Bremen eröffnet sein Programm für das Jahr der Geisteswissenschaften 2007 mit dem Chamorro Dance Workshop, der in Zusammenarbeit mit der Tanzschule Renz und dem Überseemuseum am 13.1.2007 stattfindet.

Erikarose Camacho (Miss Guam 2003) wird austronesischen und spanisch beeinflußten traditionellen Tanz der Chamorro-Gemeinschaft von Guam (Hauptinsel der Marianen im Westpazifik) in einem ganztägigen Workshop in den Räumlichkeiten der Tanzschule Renz und im Überseemuseum vorführen, unterrichten und kulturell einordnen. Dabei wird sie zeigen, wie wichtig die Wiederbelebung der traditionellen Tanzformen für die Bewahrung der vom Aussterben bedrohten autochthonen Sprache der Chamorros ist. Der Tanz ist fest mit Gesang in Chamorro verbunden und stellt damit eine der Nischen dar, in denen die gegenwärtig vom Englischen bedrängte Chamorro-Sprache noch konkurrenzlos ist. Die Veranstaltung ist für Linguisten, Ethnologen, Hispanisten, Kulturwissenschaftler, Musikwissenschaftler und viele andere mehr interessant. Für die Bremer Linguistik läutet der Workshop gleichzeitig die heiße Phase der Vorbereitung der Guam-Exkursion ein, die der Erforschung des Chamorro dient.

Der Eintritt zum Chamorro Dance Workshop ist frei. Die Vermittlungssprache ist Englisch.
Um (verpflichtungsfreie) vorherige Anmeldung bei Prof. Stolz (stolz (at) uni-bremen.de) wird bis zum 8.1.07 gebeten.

Pragmatische Kategorien.
Form, Funktion und Diachronie

Die Tagung hat zum Ziel, die Erforschung pragmatischer Kategorien voranzutreiben und die Methodik ihrer Erschließung in Corpussprachen, ihrer Beschreibung und Rekonstruktion sowie der Erforschung ihrer diachronen Entwicklung zu verfeinern.

Das Thema der Pragmatik wird weit gefaßt, und Vorträge können den verschiedensten Bereichen gewidmet sein (Implikaturen, Präsuppositionen, Sprechakte, Referenz, Deixis, Definitheit, Informationsstruktur, Fokus, Diskursanalyse, Kohärenz, Performanz, Ellipsen u.a. m.).

Es sind sowohl vorwiegend philologisch als auch stärker allgemein-sprachwissenschaftlich arbeitende Forscher aufgefordert, sich diesem in der Indogermanistik bisher vernachlässigten Gebiet zuzuwenden und exemplarisch oder theoretisch herauszustellen, welchen Beitrag hierzu die verschiedenen Richtungen der Historisch-vergleichenden Sprachwissenschaft jeweils in ihrem eigenen Rahmen und in interdisziplinärer Zusammenarbeit leisten können.

Barbara Niederer (Centre de Recherches sur les Langues d'Asie Orientale, 
EHESS/CNRS) is urgently soliciting contributions for a panel on

        Language Contact with Chinese in Minority Languages of China

to be held at the upcoming 3rd Conference of the European Association of 
Chinese Linguistics (EACL), Ghent, September 7-10, 2003. This panel will 
bring together students of languages which have evolved in close contact 
with Chinese. It intends to focus on different types of contact represented 
in the area, and to illustrate some of the results of such contacts: 
influence on the structure of the language(s) under analysis and/or on the 
linguistic behaviour of the speakers.

Papers may be presented in English, French, or Chinese and will be assigned 
to 30-minute presentation/discusion slots by the panel convenor. Since the 
deadline for abstract submission is rapidly approaching, potential 
contributors are encouraged to directly submit abstracts following the 
procedures detailed at the conference website

Schedule (September 03)

IE Section at ICHL 2003 in Copenhagen

The 16th International Congress of Historical Linguistics will take place at the University of Copenhagen in the week 11th through 15th of August, 2003. The program is subdivided into a number of sections, cf. the preliminary program at http://www.hum.ku.dk/ichl2003/.

Recently, a special section devoted to "Internal Reconstruction and Comparative Method in Indo-European: Results and Problems" was added, to be organized by myself. Each section includes a plenary session; at that of the IE section a paper will be presented by Professor Jay Jasanoff (Harvard). Our section will be held on Friday, August 15, and an urgent "CALL FOR PAPERS" is hereby issued to colleagues all over the world.

The title of the section is meant to capture investigations into the system of Proto-Indo-European (its phonology, morphology, syntax, lexematics - anything) on points where problems still remain even after comparative reconstruction has reached its goal by uncovering the protolanguage. Papers offering solutions to problems of irregular inflection or derivation (or the analog on other levels of linguistic analysis) on the basis of motivatable "deeper" reconstruction are specifically elicited. Welcome are also papers on internal reconstruction working from one of the intermediate protolanguages (Proto-Germanic, Proto-Slavic, etc.), or centering on theoretical aspects of the reconstructional techniques applicable to Indo-European.

A one-page summary should be submitted no later than March 1st, 2003. Write to: Jens Elmegaard Rasmussen, Department of Linguistics (IAAS), University of Copenhagen, Njalsgade 80, DK-2300 Copenhagen S, Denmark. For additional information the e-mail line to jer@cphling.dk is always open.

We are happy to announce the Summer School in Kartvelian Studies for non-Georgians to be held from 7 July to 12 August, 2001, in Tbilisi.
In a broad sense Kartvelian (Georgian) Studies (Kartvelology) embraces Georgian culture, history and all fields of the humanities: linguistics, literary criticism, art, archaeology, folklore, ethnography, source study. Georgia, Sakartvelo, successor to ancient Colchis and Iberia, lies at the boundary of Europe and Asia, east of the Black Sea, in the south-western part of the Caucasus. Today too it continues to serve as a geographical, economic and cultural bridge between East and West.
The Summer School in Kartvelian Studies is organized by the Centre for Kartvelian Studies and sponsored by the Government of Georgia, Tbilisi State University and by the Fund for Kartvelian Studies.
The School will offer intensive instruction in Modern Georgian, with account of the level of the mastery of the language by the participants. They can also attend lectures on Georgian history, literature, language and art and become acquainted with Georgia's cultural and historical past and her present achievements.
The five-week course at the summer school costs $1500 per student. This includes accommodation (in a student's dormitory or at a private apartment), board, lectures and seminars, and cultural program (excursions to the countryside, visiting museums, seeing Georgian films, etc.). The Center ensures meeting the attendants of Summer School at the airport and seeing them to their place of stay. The attendants pay the travel costs (arrival in Tbilisi and departure from Tbilisi), and medical aid, if needed.
This year the costs of instruction and board of foreign students who cannot pay the whole cost will be met by the Fund for Kartvelian Studies. However, in all cases the attendants of the Summer School, including the students, are expected to contribute not less than one third of the above-mentioned course cost as a charity to the Fund of Kartvelian Studies, for the Summer School in Kartvelian Studies is financed in the main by this Charity Fund.
Those who wish to attend the Summer School should communicate with the Centre for Kartvelian Studies by 1 May, 2002 and await further information from us.

Intensive Pashto Language Course - March 1999

The Central Asian Department of the Humboldt University Berlin will be running a 3 week crash course in Pashto (Afghani), from the 1st to the 19th of March 1999. The course is aimed at absolute beginners who want to gain a good grounding in the basics of Pashto grammar, practice in reading and writing comprehension, while learning something about the Pashtuns and their social norms at the same time. It will open to students from other disciplines, departments, or universities, who fulfill the normal entry requirements. Classes will be taught by German speaking Pashto lecturers as well as by a native speaker, weekdays (Monday to Friday), in the morning and afternoon for a total of 107 hours, i.e. the equivalent of a four hour week for two terms. A certificate of attendance will be given to all those who attend the classes, whilst students wishing to have the course accredited as part of their general university studies, will have the option of taking a test on completion of the course. Although the organizers cannot offer any accommodation to participants, help will be given to anybody needing to find somewhere to stay in Berlin. The closing date for registration applications is the 30th of January 1999, and applicants or anyone who would like more information about the course, should get in touch with us at the address below.

                          Workshop
                          ========
    SGML-konforme Textauszeichnung nach den Richtlinien der
               Text Encoding Initiative (TEI)
               ------------------------------
                    11.-13. Maerz 1996
                           an der
                    Universitaet Tuebingen
=====================================================================


Da beim ersten TEI-Workshop im November 1995 aufgrund des grossen
Andrangs nicht alle Anmeldungen beruecksichtigt werden konnten, freuen
wir uns, nochmals einen TEI-Workshop anbieten zu koennen.


Was ist die TEI?
----------------
Die Text Encoding Initiative (TEI), ein gemeinsames Unternehmen der
Association for Computers and the Humanities, der Association for
Literary and Linguistic Computing und der Association for
Computational Linguistics, hat seit 1987 Richtlinien fuer die
elektronische Textauszeichnung und den Textaustausch erarbeitet. Das
Ergebnis, 1994 als Buch und CD veroeffentlicht, ist die Bereitstellung
und Erlaeuterung SGML-konformer Document Type Definitions, die modular
aufgebaut ein grosses Instrumentarium an Auszeichnungen fuer die
Wiedergabe verschiedener Textsorten (Prosa, Poesie, Drama, Lexika
etc.) und verschiedener Arten der Textuntersuchung (Textkritik,
Textvergleich, linguistische Analysen, Querverbindungen etc.) bieten.


Was sind die Themen des Workshops?
----------------------------------
Unter anderem sind folgende Themen vorgesehen:
- Einfuehrung in Idee und Regeln von SGML (Standard Generalized Markup
Language, ISO-Norm 8879 von 1986)
- Klaerung des Verhaeltnisses von SGML, TEI und HTML (im World Wide
Web verwendete Hyper Text Markup Language)
- Wissenschaftliche Aspekte des Einsatzes der TEI-Auszeichnungen
(Dokumentenanalyse, heuristische und hermeneutische Implikationen)
- Einsatzgebiet und Ziele der  TEI-Verwendung: Datenaustausch,
vielfaeltige Verwendung der Dokumente, TEI als gemeinsame Plattform
von verschiedenen Bearbeitungsgaengen in Projekten (TEI-Dokumente als
Endprodukt und als Datenformat fuer die Erarbeitung)
- Vorstellung und Demonstration verschiedener Software zur Erfassung,
Pruefung und Weiterverarbeitung (Durchsuchen, Erstellung von Indizes,
Druckausgabe, elektronisches Publizieren) von SGML Dokumenten
- Das vollstaendig vorlaeufige Programm finden Sie im Anhang


An wen wendet sich dieser Workshop?
-----------------------------------
Der Workshop wendet sich an alle, die auf dem Gebiet der
Geisteswissenschaften mit der elektronischen Erfassung, Bearbeitung,
Edition und Veroeffentlichung von Textdaten beschaeftigt sind: die
Quellen sammeln, dokumentieren, mit Informationen anreichern, die
Analysen an Texten durchfuehren, die lexikographische Datenbanken
erstellen, bibliographische Daten sammeln, die Texte kritisch neu
erarbeiten, die elektronische Textdaten mit anderen austauschen, auf
verschiedenen Medien (Netz, CD-ROM, Buch) veroeffentlichen.


Wer veranstaltet den Workshop?
------------------------------
Der TEI-Workshop wird vom Zentrum fuer Datenverarbeitung der
Universitaet Tuebingen durchgefuehrt, das seit vielen Jahren um die
Unterstuetzung von EDV-Anwendungen in den Geisteswissenschaften
bemueht ist. Als eine der ersten Universitaeten hat Tuebingen vor 25
Jahren in seinem Zentrum fuer Datenverarbeitung eine eigene Abteilung
fuer Literarische und Dokumentarische Datenverarbeitung eingerichtet,
in der man sich mit den Problemen der computerunterstuetzten
geisteswissenschaftlichen Textdatenverarbeitung beschaeftigt. Das
bekannteste Produkt dieser Arbeit ist das Software-Paket TUSTEP, das
Grundoperationen zur Textdatenverarbeitung zur Verfuegung stellt.


Wer sind die Referenten?
------------------------
Michael Sperberg-McQueen PhD (Germanistik) vom Computer Center der
Universitaet von Illinois in Chicago (USA) ist seit 1987 mit der TEI
befasst. Er war massgebliches Mitglied im Leitungsteam fuer die
Erarbeitung der Richtlinien und als Koeditor fuer die
Veroeffentlichung der Richtlinien verantwortlich. Er gilt mit Recht
als einer der Vaeter der TEI und ist einer der fuehrenden Spezialisten
fuer die SGML-konforme Auszeichnung von Texten in den
Geisteswissenschaften.

Dr. theol. Winfried Bader vom Zentrum fuer Datenverarbeitung der
Universitaet Tuebingen hat durch seine langjaehrige
Beratungstaetigkeit Erfahrung in der Planung und Durchfuehrung von
elektronisch gestuetzten Texteditionen. Seine bibelwissenschaftlichen
Arbeiten sind computerlinguistisch orientiert. Seit 1993 ist er
Mitglied im Advisory Board der TEI; seit 1994 ist er ausgebildet zum
TEI-Instructor.


Was ist die Unterrichtssprache und Arbeitsform?
-----------------------------------------------
Die Unterrichtssprache des Workshops ist Deutsch. Als Arbeitsformen
wechseln sich Vortrag, Demonstrationen, Gruppenarbeit, praktische
Uebung und Diskussion ab.


Wann findet der Workshop statt?
-------------------------------
Beginn: Montag,   11. Maerz 1996, 14:45 Uhr
Ende:   Mittwoch, 17. Maerz 1996, 17:00 Uhr

10. Fachtagung der Indogermanischen Gesellschaft Innsbruck, 22. - 28. September 1996

Die 10. Fachtagung der Indogermanischen Gesellschaft wird von Sonntag, 22. bis Samstag, 28. September 1996 in Innsbruck stattfinden.
Sie wird ausgerichtet vom Institut für Sprachwissenschaft der Universität Innsbruck.
Die Fachtagung der Indogermanischen Gesellschaft kehrt somit nach einer Periode von 35 Jahren nach Innsbruck zurück, wo sie 1961 bereits abgehalten wurde, als 2. Fachtagung der im Jahre 1953 wiederbegründeten Indogermanischen Gesellschaft.
Die gro&slig;en Fachtagungen der Indogermanischen Gesellschaft haben immer bedeutende Themen zum Gegenstand gehabt, in denen sich die jeweilige Forschungssituation spiegelte, und sie waren oft methodisch richtungsweisend für die weitere Entwicklung des Faches.
Bei dem Neben- und zum Teil Gegeneinander verschiedener Denkrichtungen kommt der (in unserem Fach mancherseits für unwichtig erachteten) Methodendiskussion weiterhin gro&slig;es Gewicht zu.
Nachdem die beiden letzten Fachtagungen den methodisch so wichtigen Problemen der Relativen Chronologie und der zeitlichen Differenzierung der Indogermanischen Grundsprache gewidmet waren, diese Probleme aber bei weitem nicht erschöpfend behandelt werden konnten, sollen sie jetzt noch einmal zur Diskussion gestellt werden, wobei auch der reale Hintergrund, die Sprecher jener Grundsprache(n), ihre mutma&slig;lichen Wohnsitze und Ausbreitungen, ihre materielle und geistige Kultur in den Blickpunkt kommen sollen.
Da diese besonders interessierenden Fragen nach Ort(en) und Zeit(en) der Grundsprache(n) und der Kultur ihrer Sprecher mit linguistischen Argumenten allein nicht befriedigend beantwortet werden können, stellt sich hier im besonderen die Frage nach den Möglichkeiten, die erkenntnistheoretischen Beschränkungen zu überwinden, gegebenenfalls durch gegenseitige Erhellung im Zusammenspiel interdisziplinärer Forschung.
Die 10. Fachtagung soll in diesem Sinn unter folgendem (zwangsläufig vereinfacht formulierten) Thema stehen:


SPRACHE UND KULTUR DER INDOGERMANEN


Die wichtigeren Aspekte dieses Themas sollen in Hauptreferaten angesprochen werden.
Ergänzend dazu kann in Kurzvorträgen das ganze Spektrum der verschiedenen Einzelprobleme behandelt werden, soweit sie in diesen Rahmen fallen und für das Hauptthema in seinem oben umrissenden Sinn relevant sind.
Somit erlaube ich mir, alle Mitglieder und sonstigen Interessenten zur 10. Fachtagung der Indogermanischen Gesellschaft einzuladen und bitte zugleich um Anmeldung von Kurzvorträgen (Dauer 20 min. + 10 min. Diskussion).
Bitte benutzen Sie das beiliegende Anmeldeformular. Ein zweites Rundschreiben wird im Frühsommer 1996 ergehen, welches alle relevanten Informationen sowie einen Überblick über die zu erwartenden Vorträge enthalten wird.
Das endgültige Programm wird kurz vor Beginn der Tagung vorliegen.
In der Hoffnung, möglichst viele Teilnehmer in Innsbruck begrü&slig;en zu können, verbleibe ich mit besten Grü&slig;en

                                  WORKSHOP

                    The Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines
                  Application to Building Digitial Libraries


                               ***************

                          Held in conjunction with

                            Digital Libraries'96
           First ACM International Conference On Digital Libraries

                               ***************

The Text Encoding Initiative's (TEI) Guidelines for Electronic Text
Encoding and Interchange provide an extensive SGML-based scheme for
encoding electronic texts across a wide spectrum of text types and
suitable for any kind of application. Released in spring of 1994, the
Guidelines have already achieved wide-scale implementation in projects
throughout North America and Europe. This workshop is intended to
provide a forum for technical discussion and evaluation of the TEI
Guidelines, as they have so far been implemented in real applications,
particularly those which have relevance for building digital
libraries.

This call solicits papers for a one-day workshop, to be held in
conjunction with Digital Libraries '96. The program will consist of
several paper presentations together with substantial time for
discussion.

Topics include but are not limited to:

- reports on the use of the TEI scheme for a particular application,
with a focus on evaluation of the scheme to serve application needs

- technical discussion of particular encoding problems and (TEI or
non-TEI) solutions, for example, handling unusual or complex text
types, multi-media, multiple views or information types, multi-lingual
data, etc.

- customization and extension of the TEI for particular applications
and text types, including proposals for use in the building of digital
libraries

- assessment, evaluation of the TEI DTD architecture, especially as it
  serves the needs of building digital libraries

- technical and practical consideration for the design of tools to
handle documents encoded using the TEI or SGML generally

We also invite participation in the workshop by those who may not
present a paper, but who wish to be involved in discussion.

AN INVITATION FROM THE CONFERENCE CHAIR

Welcome to DL '96!  Digital libraries meld the storage and retrieval power
of computing, the communication capabilities of electronic networking, and
the structures and practices of physical libraries and archives.  Much of
the excitement related to digital libraries comes as a result of the
interactions among disparate communities of scholars coming together to
address common problems of information organization, access, and use.
This meeting builds on two conferences held in Texas in 1994 and 1995 and
initiates a series of ACM-sponsored research conferences devoted to
digital library research and development.

Gary Marchionini

o Tutorials

Wednesday, March 20, 1996

12:30 to 3:00 pm

1A.   Information Retrieval and Hypertext
         Edward A. Fox, Virginia Tech
         Robert Akscyn, Knowledge Systems, Inc

Content:
      An introductory to intermediate tutorial intended for
      those desiring an introduction to information retrieval (IR)
      and hypertext (HT), which provides a background for: digital
      libraries as well as work in: content-based retrieval,
      hypermedia, networked information, educational courseware,
      and related technologies.

12:30 to 3:00 pm

1B.   Foundations of the Organization of Information
         Elaine Svenonius, University of California, Los Angeles

Content:
	A brief introduction to the foundations of Information
	Organization, which will cover:
        a) Principles which have been used to guide the design of
	   systems for organizing information
	b) Examples of methods that have been used in the design of such
	   systems, with a particular emphasis on automated methods
	c) current issues and problems in designing systems for
	   organizing information in very large online databases.

3:30 - 6:00 pm

2A.   Z39.50 Tutorial
         Ray Denenberg, Library of Congress
         Clifford Lynch, University of California

Content:
      Z39.50 is an international standard client/server protocol
      for information retrieval. Z39.50-1992 is widely implemented,
      primarily for access to bibliographic databases. Z39.50-1995
      is significantly richer and addresses search and retrieval of
      digital objects.  Work is in progress to define a "Z39.50
      Profile for the Access to Digital Collections".  The Z39.50
      tutorial will describe the background and history of Z39.50,
      its model, functionality, and technical aspects, and
      illustrate how Z39.50 addresses problems of access to digital
      collections.

3:30 - 6:00 pm

2B.  Documents and Digital Libraries
        David M. Levy, Xerox Palo Alto Research Center

Content:
      This tutorial will offer a conceptual framework that
      highlights the inseparable relationship between document
      technologies and social purpose (or use). Topics will
      include: (1) digital documents: how they are similar to and
      different from paper documents; (2) document genre as the
      nexus of form, content, and use; (3) the fixity of documents:
      how documents fix communication in a medium; (4) documents
      and change (fluidity); (5) how fixity and fluidity are
      orchestrated by genre; (6) the medium (in)dependence of
      documents. The framework will be applied to analyze one or
      more current issues, such as the future of cataloging.
